B&S RMI

Is it safe to assume that a server installation which exports the interfaces and class implementation via FTP is part of the project scope? I don't recall this anywhere noted on requirements unless this is just a given.

Andrew is right, usually the RMI codebase could be set by using a URL, but at least my assignment requirements explicitly stated that I should not require a HTTP server or security manager. - you can complete your project without either (I used RMI too).
